From “life as lived” to “life as text”: Gendered geographies of diaspora and exile in Clément Baloup’s Vietnamese memories
Baloup’s approach to using personal narratives in graphic novels transcends the specific realm of refugee comics or human rights campaigns, yet it faces challenges when attempting to bridge the gap between the intimate narratives of refugees and a broader commercial audience. Blurring the lines between autobiography, historiography, reportage, testimony, and docufiction, Vietnamese Memories retraces the global dimensions of the Vietnamese diaspor…

Strategy Specific Support During Uncertain Waiting Periods
Uncertainty over what the future holds can be a source of anxiety and worry, and people use a variety of coping strategies in response to this distress. However, limited research has examined whether and how interpersonal factors might influence how exactly people choose to cope with uncertainty. In the current studies, we explore how perceptions of a romantic partner's strategy-specific support behaviors (e.g., support for bracing for the worst,…

À chaque recette, son histoire: Viet Kieu Food Writing and the Emergence of a Transnational Poetics
If the insistence on Vietnamese culinary practices in contemporary literatures of the Vietnamese diaspora establishes writers/artists such as Kim Thúy and Clément Baloup as members of the Viet Kieu community, these practices also serve an important narrative function. Food acts as a stimulus for memory, connecting past and present, host country and country of origin, migrant and transnational space. From this perspective, foodways provide spatiot…

Investigating the enforced disappearances of Algeria's 'Dark Decade: Omar D's and Kamel Khélif's commemorative art projects
Some estimates indicate that as many as 7000 people have been reported missing in Algeria since 1992. While Islamists are responsible for some of these abductions, the majority can be attributed to the Algerian state. Human rights organisations have since called for the investigation of 'enforced disappearances' or the denial of individual freedoms in the form of state-sanctioned abductions, detentions, or executions. To put pressure on a governm…

Comics and the Demystification of France's Immigration ‘Problem’: Reading Christophe Dabitch's Immigrants
While universalism constitutes the foundation of French republicanism, public discourse and changes in immigration law have revealed that racial and/or ethnic discrimination and exclusion are necessary for cultural assimilation and for the protection of France's ‘universalist’ model. Studies have also shown that at least 40% of the French population is of foreign origin. So how has France justified the reconciliation of universalism and particula…
Digital mismatch: Expectations and realities of digital competency amongst pre-service education students
Pre-service education students entering university can be categorised broadly into two distinct groups, those who are coming directly from secondary school and those who are not. The second group can be quite diverse, ranging in age, academic and/or work experience. However, what both of these groups share is a digital expectation and they expect upon completion of their studies to be more digitally fluent than when they entered university, they …
Sur les traces d’un père: « La quête harkéologique » de Dalila Kerchouche
This article proposes a textual analysis of Dalila Kerchouche's non-fictional work, Mon père, ce harki (2003). Struggling to accept and pardon her father's decision to side with the French during the Algerian War, Kerchouche explores the aftermath of the war on her family and on the harki community who fell victim to post-independence violence in Algeria and to racial discrimination in France. Born in 1973 in Bias, an internment camp in southwest…
Reconstituting Cultural Memory through Image and Text in Leïla Sebbar's Le Chinois vert d'Afrique
Despite the impact of the Algerian War on Franco-Algerian relations, the war's atrocities have all but vanished from French collective memory — until relatively recently. Legislative debates in the French National Assembly regarding the revision of textbooks attest to this: does France have the right to teach future generations about colonialism's positive effects? This article examines how Leïla Sebbar comes to terms with post-war trauma through…
